Tin Time

I’m often asked how I come up with an idea for what I make. I can tell you there is no rhyme or reason to it. I see something I like and just add bits to it that I sort through in a box of good quality crap I like to call it.

I often think my designs are too simple but I like a clean look if I can I like to do cold connections so you can see where its connected or to make that a feature in itself.

Below are the things I started with: a old pen tin,tin photo and a Aussie Military

The beginning collecting my bits and pieces try to work out a design
Okay I like this now how to connect it together? No glue i say (No Glue Lobue taught me this)

This is the amazing Riveting tool I'm sell on my website A Mark In Time I so love this tool its amazing and so easy to use.First I punch a hole.

You can rivet and also eyelet with this machine with just the change part to your tool.

I have used it here to set two rivets.

A close up of the rivet going in.
This is the finished product I added a copper number nail at the bottom of the tin photo.Now I have to decide a brooch or pendant.
